Eucalyptus--I have done the dastardly deed! Encouraged by some of you I have sawn off my 7' high lollipop-shaped tree 18 inches from the ground. I'm hoping for new growth from the base, which I can keep low. Oh well, kill or cure!

Sounds like you have done a good deed, these trees can grow very very large. My neighbour had a huge specimen, luckily not over our side of the garden. It had to be delt with by a tree surgeon. it's been coppiced ( I think that's the term used) so it has lots of manageable stems rather than one huge trunk.
